Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Beowulf, one of the earliest poems in the English language, recounts a tale of heroism played out against the backdrop of Scandinavia in the 5th to 6th centuries AD. And yet, this Old English verse narrative set in Scandinavia is a little surprisingly, perhaps populated with names of German descent.This insight into the personal names of Beowulf acts the starting point for Philip A. Shaws innovative and nuanced study. As Shaw reveals, the origins of these personal names provide important evidence for the origins of Beowulf as it enables us to situate the poem fully in its continental contexts.
